With a special focus on participation, the dramatic art major prepares students to succeed in a wide range of careers.

Following an interdisciplinary approach, students earn a bachelor’s degree in dramatic art with an emphasis in either theatre or dance. Course subjects include ballet, acting, dance, stage management, films and performance analysis.
